For the past 20 years, Stuart Wilson and Joanna Prentis have been explored the early Essene community, the life of Jesus, and the power of the teachings of Mary Magdalene through the use of past life regression. In the course of these sessions, some fascinating previously unknown information emerged, including:

• Jesus survived his crucifixion and was spirited away from the tomb.
• There were a number women disciples led by Mary Magdalene.
• The secret role of the Order of Melchizedek in the Essene Community.
• Jesus did not stand alone, but had the full backing of the Essene community, led by Joseph of Arimathea.

Expanding on the information conveyed in their first two books, The Essenes and Power of the Magdalene, Wilson fully explores, with the assistance of the Essenes, the ancient mystery teachings of Mary Magdalene and Jesus that have never been revealed before. We have the authentic voice of Mary Magdalene speaking at length within Gatherings of the Mystery School she led on the island of Cyprus.

In addition, Wood explores first-century Gnosticism. With clarity, he demonstrates that rather than being a Christian heresy, Gnosticism was a spiritual path in its own right - a path that developed on a parallel track to first-century Christian orthodoxy.
